Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

i've heard that the tin shed and the screen door are pretty awesome places for breakfast. one person i'll be with is a huge biscuits and gravy fan, and the screen door i guess has some amazing b+g action. i'm a big fan of potatoes, eggs, and a grain w/ coffee, and a pal told me that tin shed has an early AM special.

easy bike parking will be nice, as well, since we'll be riding. fixed, to keep it on topic of course.

any other suggestions, something i can't miss out on? not mr. moneybags here.

<edit> looks like screen door only has brunch at 9 on sat and sun, so that'll be a no go. any other places to recommend that are open early (7ish) and during the week?

It is not in Portland, but if you are heading to the cost Camp 18 is breakfast paradise the lumberjack breakfast comes with 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, peaces of meat and potatoes and if you don't eat meat you can sub grits !!!!!!! of course you will need to take a dump shortly after so be warned if you are ridding!

Cup N Saucer on Hawthorne, classic standard breakfast place. Cadillac Cafe on Broadway. I mean, you can get good breakfast anywhere as long as you go down the right streets - Hawthorne, Belmont, Burnside, NE 28th, Alberta, Downtown, etc etc etc. Screen Door is southern style food and yes there's bike racks outside as well as everywhere in Portland. Does it really even need to be asked?

Bread and Ink on Hawthorne has the best hash browns I have EVER had. Whatever that place is next to stumptown (near Voodoo) is really good as well. If you're headed to beaverton (shudder) check out Tom's Pancake House.

i think fuller's coffee shop is one of the best breakfasts i've ever had.

actually, I didn't notice that you'll be lookin' to get fed early. I don't think there'll be much of a line at Tin Shed at that time, almost ever. probably 9-noon is the big rush of weekend slackers and hungover folk. you should be golden at 7am.

Bijou cafe I believe it is.

I'll probably be in town for NAHBS by the way. And there's a Valentine's Day Alleycat going on after that.

I think my personal fave breakfast is Genie's on Division and 11th. It is a great balance, the food is tasty though not totally dirt cheap (get what you pay for), atmosphere is good and a little funky and they serve liquor from morning to lunch (they are not open for dinner).

Though if you are completely hung over, nothing beats My Father's Place on Grand.

Fuller's is just classic. Its best to get there early, because its small and crowded.

This is my absolute favorite, too.

Juniors has some incredibly tasty vegan options, if you are so inclined.

yup. +1.
and they have some kick-ass hot sauce offerings with Secret Aardvark on the tables. if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm also a fan of Utopia Cafe on Belmont. their blue corn pancakes are hard to beat.
